Conclusion
Chalmers Family Cork
Long unknown and forgot
May we recall with pride
Their incredible courage
Grappling with Nature
With their meager means
Of sustenance
Their cabins cold and bare
On
lonely hills and valleys
Recall their dogged hope
That one day
Their children’s children
You and I
Would see a better day
Enjoy a better home
A better land
A better life !
Have we been true to them
Have we the same hope
For our children’s children?
Our Plans!
Decisions!
Actions!
What world
Will they create
For Our children’s children?
When They look back
And ponder Our world
Their ancestors
You and I
Will the pride swell in their hearts
Or the anger and frustration
Destroy their Spirit?
